BOAT WASHES ASHORE
WITH 3 SURVIVORS OF
.LOST SHIP; 50 DROWN
Captain of Roanoke Perished in
Effort to Save Wife
When Vessel Broke
in Two
MUNITIONS AMONG CARGO
SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. A little
open boat, storm bitjtered and almost
sinking, washed nehdre on the' rocky
coast near Port San Luis early today
brought to the world the news flf tht
Pacific's latest tragedy. In life boat were
the only three survivors, It Is believed
of the steamship Roanoke, which broke In
two last Monday night and sunk within
a few minutes, taking to the bottom with
her from 45 to SO persons, Includinr
Captain Richard Dixon nnd his wife. Tht
survivors, nit seamen, were half dead
from exposure nnd exhaustion when they
were dragged from the boat. They ha
been In the boat for 38 hours, battllnr
almost continually to keep their tiny
craft from following the Roanoke,
The Roanoke, an old San Franclsc
passenger boat, sailed from hero last
Monday night for South American ports.
She was heavily laden with 19.000 easel
of dynamite. 680 tons of powder, 000 ton
of wheat nnd a general cargo.
The vessel ran Into a big gale soon
after leaving San Francisco. Big waxes
climbed over her and a cross-sea battered
her fearfully.
The strain on the cargo was terrific.
The wheat began rolling In her hold and
tho tremendous waves thrown up by the
northwest galo did the rest. The vessel
soon broke Jn, two froYn the shifting
weight and sank.
The Roanoke carried a crew of 47 men.
In addition, there were several Mexicans,
who were being deported.
The four lifeboats of the old vessel
were hastily lowered, but It Is feared that
only the one washed ashore near Port
San Luis got away.
Launches today are combing tho sea
for miles out, searching for possible sur
vivors, but, according to the three men
saved, It probably will be a fruitless
search.
Captain Dixon, according to one of the
survivors, gave his life In a futile effort
to save Mrs. Dixon. She fell oerboard
as the vessel lurched under the Impact
of a heavy wave, and the captain dived
after her. Neither was seen again.
